Add a New Task

In this article

You can keep track of multiple tasks in one Kanban card by using the Checklist feature available in your Kanban cards. Here, we’ll show you how to add a new task to a checklist.

Adding Tasks to Checklist

After you add a new checklist, you can add new tasks by clicking on the Add Task textbox. You also have the option to add a link, assign a task owner, set a due date, deformat text, and attach a file from the toolbar option below the textbox.

You can create multiple checklists under each Kanban card and multiple tasks under each checklist.

Filter Tasks in a Checklist

When you have a checklist with many tasks you can use the task filter options available in the Checklist tab to keep better track of tasks that are assigned to you. You can filter tasks in three ways:

1. Filter tasks assigned to you

Toggle the filter tab to Only Mine. This will filter all tasks assigned to you. To cancel, toggle the tab back to All.

Bulk Actions

There are two bulk actions available for taking action on multiple tasks in a checklist. These options are available from the ellipsis (…) at the rightmost part of the checklist name. From the dropdown menu, you can assign all tasks to a team member or close all open tasks in one action.
